jssrecipecreator's Issues

You should be able to specify the recipe identifier for parent recipes, in addition to a path.

Yep.

Would like to be able to add multiple groups in the group template

Is it possible to write the group template so that it adds multiple groups to a policy?

Thanks!

Uses hard-coded path to RecipeTemplate.

Add commandline options for RecipeTemplate, possibly others.

Am I doing something wrong?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but this is not producing any output at all for me.
I've tried several different options. I have JSSImporter setup and configured in AutoPkgr.
./jss_recipe_creator.py -r Templates/RecipeTemplate.plist -d ~/myDest

I've tried with -s and -r Templates/RecipeTemplate-package-only.plist.
I've also tried omitting -d so it writes to the local directory.
I just can't seem to get any output. Also, there are no errors on output.
What am I missing?
I'm running the latest version of Catalina and version 1.2.0 of RecipeCreator.

Preferences file not found

You knew I'd submit the first issue. :-)

Trying to build a Dropbox.jss from the existing Dropbox.pkg seems not to work without a preferences file.

jss.exceptions.JSSPrefsMissingFileError: Preferences file not found!

Tested on two Macs, got the same error. Probably something simple.

Error if Policy and Policy group is not in template...

I need to upload just packages and put them in Package categories only.
However when I remove the Policy and Policy group info from the Recipe Template.xml I get this error:
leeta:JSSRecipeCreator-0.1.0 ega$ ./JSSRecipeCreator.py /Users/ega/Library/AutoPkg/RecipeRepos/com.github.autopkg.recipes/MSOffice2011Updates/MSOffice2011Updates.pkg.recipe

    raise exc_type(*exc_args)
KeyError: 'POLICY_CATEGORY'

It was my impression these could be skipped or left out. Or did I confuse this with a dev version to come?

Here is my RecipeTemplate.xlm

TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

Tried again to build a Dropbox.jss from the autopkg Dropbox.pkg recipe.

I pressed Enter to use all the default settings, and it errored out:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./JSSRecipeGenerator.py", line 262, in <module>
    main()
  File "./JSSRecipeGenerator.py", line 255, in main
    recipe = JSSRecipeCreator(args.ParentRecipe, args.recipe_template)
  File "./JSSRecipeGenerator.py", line 155, in __init__
    self.recipe = self.build_recipe()
  File "./JSSRecipeGenerator.py", line 212, in build_recipe
    recipe = self.replace_text(f.read())
  File "./JSSRecipeGenerator.py", line 236, in replace_text
    text = text.replace(key, value)
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, NoneType found

Creator or Generator?

Minor point - all the docs talk about JSSRecipeCreator but the script is actually JSSRecipeGenerator.py. Did I miss something ?
